If playing in the playoffs weren’t crazy enough, imagine that going to overtime and winning the game with three minutes left in overtime.

That’s what Rocklin did.

The foot of Maddie Morrison, daughter of head coach Paul Morrison scored the game winner with three minutes to play for a 3-2 victory, sending the Thunder to Tracy for the second round of the CIF-Sac Joaquin Section playoffs.

“I knew we had to come out with intensity, it’s a must win game,” said Maddie Morrison. “It was kind of scary at the beginning, but we finished strong.”

Overtime started as a chess match, if you aren’t shooting, your playing defense.

In the final 10 minutes of overtime however, Rocklin let the dogs out as Morrision and Christina Lazar picked up shots after shots against a physical Mustangs defense that eventually led to Morrison’s goal.

Morrison just ran back on defense as everyone bombarded her.

“I get excited, but it’s not what I do,” laughed Morrison about not joining the celebration.
